Museum Archive: Vintage Heddon Baby Torpedo, 1/4oz Baby Bass fishing lure #16110

Weighing in at 1/4 oz (7 g), this topwater plug is dressed in the classic Baby Bass pattern featuring a dark green scale back over a creamy white belly with distinct black lateral spots. The 2 1/4" (6 cm) body shape is anchored by a single metal propeller at the rear, a signature Heddon hardware choice designed to create a steady surface disturbance. On the belly, the specimen displays a clear "HEDDON BABY TORPEDO" stamp, while the metal prop itself carries the embossed Heddon brand name. Large, painted yellow eyes with deep black pupils provide high-contrast targets on the forward portion of the dark head. This specific item, identified by product code 16110, remains in excellent condition, showing a clean finish and bright hardware, earning a solid 5/5 rating. It is rigged with two silver-tone treble hooks, one at the midsection and one at the tail, following the standard configuration for this compact surface lure.
